About this deal

With up to 144TB 1 of high-powered RAID storage in an easy-to-transport design, content creators get a premium solution for their demanding workflows on location or in the studio. For all your demanding workloads and mission-critical footage, you can depend on the power and enhanced reliability of eight (8) removable Enterprise-class Ultrastar hard drives inside. The real reason you might be willing to shell out this kind of money for an external drive (along with paying more for a cable and probably upgrading your motherboard to get a Thunderbolt port) is the speed. The G RAID with Thunderbolt had better be fast, right? With a premium, anodized aluminum enclosure, the G-RAID 2 pairs beautifully with your high-end computer and gives you durable strength you can feel. With dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, you can conveniently daisy chain up to 5 additional devices to stay connected to multiple drives, 4K displays, and more, through a single connection to your computer.

For all your demanding workloads and mission-critical content, you can rely on the power and enhanced reliability of the enterprise-class 7200RPM Ultrastar hard drives inside. JBOD– No RAID functionality. Both disks will show up separately on the desktop and can be used independently. G-Technology’s high-capacity G-RAID Studio is designed for Mac users; it uses Thunderbolt 2, which is found on MacBooks and iMacs, and is styled to ape the Mac Pro workstation. It will work with a Thunderbolt- equipped PC, but there’s a performance penalty. The G-RAID Studio is configured as RAID 0 out of the box, but you can switch to RAID 1 or JBOD using the free configuration utility. In RAID 0 on a Mac, formatted with the Mac OS Extended file system, it wrote large files at a rapid 312MB/s and read them at an identical speed. Small files were understandably tougher, but the drive still managed to produce 272MB/s write speeds and 272MB/s read speeds. It also impressed in our new extra-large file transfer test, which uses a mammoth 6GB video file; the G-RAID Studio both wrote and read this file at 323MB/s.RAID 0– Leave in RAID 0 to achieve the maximum available capacity and transfer speed. Ideal for video editing. For information on changing RAID settings, please refer to Answer ID 30547: Configure G-RAID SHUTTLE Disk Array (RAID).

G-RAID 2 มาพร้อมกับ RAID 0 เพื่อความสะดวกในการพกพาและสามารถตั้งค่าให้เป็น RAID 1 (การทำมิเรอร์ข้อมูล) หรือ JBOD เพื่อความยืดหยุ่นสูงสุด Thunderbolt 3 ช่วยให้คุณสามารถเชื่อมต่อกับไดรฟ์หลายตัว จอแสดงผล 4K และอื่นๆ โดยผ่านการเชื่อมต่อจุดเดียวเข้ากับคอมพิวเตอร์ของคุณ For maximum performance, the SanDisk Professional G-RAID Shuttle SSD device comes in RAID 5 out of the box and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 to provide a versatile and flexible storage solution. Like any Thunderbolt product worth its salt, it comes with two ports so you can connect it to other devices in a daisy-chain. Sadly it doesn't come with a Thunderbolt cable, so you'll have to buy one before you can use it. A minor inconvenience maybe, but unlike USB, Thunderbolt hasn't been around long enough for us to have a drawer full of spare cables. The two hot-swappable 3.5in disks spin at 7,200rpm. You pull the disks out vertically from the top of the unit, with a pop-out cover hiding the drive trays from view. Each drive is secured to a disk caddy with four screws.

New and old technologies fight it out, but the only loser is your wallet

With capacities from 8TB SSD – 32TB of high performance solid state storage, you’ll always be able to transfer your critical 4K, 8K, VR, high dynamic range (HDR) and high frame rate (HFR) footage in a single location.

The reason? It all boils down to the two hard drives inside the G RAID, which are spinning at 7,200rpm. This means that much of Thunderbolt's vaunted 10Gb/s bandwidth is all but redundant when running a single device. G-RAID 2 สามารถจับคู่กับคอมพิวเตอร์ไฮเอนด์ของคุณได้อย่างสวยหรูและมอบประสิทธิภาพความทนทานที่คุณรู้สึกได้ For maximum performance, G-RAID 2 comes ready to go in RAID 0 and can be configured to RAID 1 (mirroring) or JBOD for ultimate flexibility.Switching to RAID 1, where files are mirrored across the two disks, transfer speeds were understandably slower, but the G-RAID Studio still produced some impressive numbers. Large files were written at 156MB/s and read at 147MB/s, small files were written and read at 153MB/s, and the extra-large files was written at 161MB/s and read at 147MB/s. On a Thunderbolt 1-equipped PC with the disks formatted with the NTFS file system, speeds were similar when copying large files, but for small files write speeds dropped to 79MB/s and read speeds fell to 72MB/s.
